Frida Kahlo`s collection of self portraits are amongst the most recognisable self portraits around. Her use of rich vibrant colours have confronted Mexican culture and Kahlo`s Mexican heritage. Her inanimate facial expressions in conjunction with her use of typical portraiture angles and dimensions has created the timeless and iconic images which have withstood the test of time. Her portraits have been constant subjects of appropriation and inspiration in contemporary art.
